Red velvet actually became popular in the Victorian Era, when it was served to the elite and on special occasions. So where does the red coloring come from? Part of it comes from the cocoa reacting with the vinegar but most of it comes from red food coloring. Without the food coloring, red velvet would have a lighter color, not the bright red we’ve associated it with.
The taste would still be the same. Scroll below to the printable recipe card for details and measurements. Do not follow the instructions or ingredients on the back of the box. We switch up the amount of the ingredients used to create the cookie texture. They are beyond easy to make! Combine the cake mix, eggs, and vegetable oil.
